After finally seeing the White-winged Crossbill at Silver Spring this morning, I decided to swing by the Painted Bunting location in Arnold.
   
  I was there for quite some time and had a wonderful chat with Nico Sarbanes & his dad.  It's nice to see a teenager excited about birding.  Kudos to his dad for schlepping him all over the place in search of birds.
   
  About 5 minutes after the Sabanes departure, the birding activity really increased.  A small feeding flock of chickadees appeared at the feeder.  Then the bunting appeared.  A small shaft of sunlight was shining on the bunting as it fed.  What a great sight!
   
  When the chickadees disappeared, so did the bunting.
